CARTRIDGE LOADING OPTIONS - RESISTANCE
In either “MM” or “MC” cartridge operating modes, the input load resistance that the cartridge sees is factory set at 49K9 (or 49.9K) ohms. This may be easily altered by your dealer (or a competent technician) by soldering a new resistance value to the solder terminals labeled “R- Load” (one per channel). For your convenience, your
30R and 10R) to allow you to adjust the nominal 49K9 load to the fol- lowing values: a) 980 ohms (using the 1K resistors); b) 100 ohms (using the 100R resistors); c) 30 ohms (using the 30R resistors); and d) 10 ohms (using the 10R resistors). See Figure 3 for load resistor location.
CARTRIDGE LOADING OPTIONS - CAPACITANCE |
|
With some phono cartridges (both moving magnet and moving coil), |
|
the addition of some capacitance loading to the cartridge may prove |
|
beneficial in “taming” any high frequency resonance or response |
|
peaks inherent in the design of the cartridge. Typical capacitance val- |
|
ues for moving magnet cartridges are in the range of 100 to 250pf. |
|
We suggest that you discuss the possible loading requirements of your |
|
cartridge with your dealer, or with the cartridge manufacturer. The |
|
additional capacitance may be soldered to the |
|
nals (of both channels). Loading capacitors can be obtained from |
|
The Parts Connection, a division of Sonic Frontiers. See Figure 3 for |
|
load capacitor location. | 5 |
